Annual celebrations
We have investigated finger-prints, magnets, floating and sinking, rainbow spinners and played with a non-Newtonian fluid- obleck!

We made some spooky 2D shape pictures for Maths Week and Halloween. We took our turn rolling the dice, and chose a matching shape. Then when the bell rang we used our shapes to make some spooky houses!
I’m an Engineer is an online, student-led STEM enrichment activity. School students connect with real engineers through energetic, real-time text based chats. During remote learning we were lucky enough to get involved in ‘I’m an Engineer, Get Me Out of here’. Wehad the opportunity to chat with real engineers, in real time, ask any questions [...]
